Kevin Hooper on Gabe: Gabe was one of our horses in the rotation last year. There is no way we have the success we did without him on our staff. He threw a lot of innings for us and did a phenomenal job, and I'm expecting big things out of him this year. Gabe is still pretty young, but he has a good presence about him and he is a good leader.
